PS. Yesterday's pizza was a flop. I didn't put enough water in the dough. The seagulls didn't mind though. Bagels n' rasp jam for breakfast. The sun brought everyone out onto Union Street. I followed some of the Dog Days threads in TA yesterday - a goodbye cruel world cum deathwatch thread, and a huggy wuggies thwead which prompted a spectacular piece of nastiness... When did Madeleine McCann drop out of the news? Oh yes, I watched a film that I'd downloaded from archive.org a month or so back - http://www.archive.org/details/Day_Of_The_Wolves.avi - which turned out to be a rather enjoyable early blend of Reservior Dogs and Dashiell Hammett's The Gutting of Couffignal. Things have gone the way I suspected re. Peet's broadband, and he is raging. The key learning experience from the whole farrago would have to be 'when you get in letters re. important matters, check them, no matter how sure you are about what's happening.'

Hmm my views on /some/ of the huggy-wuggies and me-me-me threads are probably best kept to myself on a day with an atmospheric doodah like steamed milk. Not that it stopped me sticking a patronising oar into today's thread which caught more than one person in a raw place [the thread, not my oar.]

Re downloads: have been beta testing the forthcoming BBCi player. Took some fiddling about and two service upgrades at the BBC before it would work for me but at the moment the selection includes some stuff from BBC 4 which is well worth a look. Don't know what will be available when it's up and running [which could be quite soon]. Doubt whether we'll get films but wonder whether we'll get archives of things like Newsnight podcasts. Or even Great Test Matches of the last century. SeaNy posted some Noggin the Nog links on the DiD thread which I enjoyed hugely.

[ps Didn't see a goodbye cruel world thread. Should I be taking evasive action?]

t'was Dame Rosie in the Village Hall. David Croninberg could easily do an adaptation of the thread.
